Five years later I am rewatching Twin Peaks and it is a sobering experience. Once you know what's going to happen, every extraneous plotline feels like a complete waste of time. I'm giving up after episode 14 but after years of building it up this has been extremely disappointing. It was my introduction to TV again, but since then I've seen Freaks & Geeks, The Office, Arrested Development, Lost, and so many others. I appreciate Peaks for what it was, especially at the time, but can't help but see its many flaws now.

Christopher Nolan's directive was clear to everyone in the cast and crew: Use CGI only as a last resort.

I guess there's something in the air bringing us back to Twin Peaks. I re-watched Fire Walk With Me yesterday, and was surprised by how much I liked it. I didn't really know what to think of it when I first saw it, which was right after viewing the whole series on DVD. Doing that back-to-back was jolting, but I felt like Fire Walk With Me really held up on its own, and certainly doesn't have that meandering problem that the TV show had. It's VERY focused. For whatever reason, the things that I felt were silly or over-the-top when I saw it 2 years ago were devastatingly effective this time around. ... Poor Laura Palmer...

i can see where your coming from...but one of th eshows greatest accomplishemnt, and the reason why i hold it in such huigh regard is its atmosphere...theres just soemthign sabout the setting, mood, music and all the other shit that you use to create atmosphere-that compells me and keeps me glued and rewtching the series numerous times...

It probably WILL happen but it will be a web-only series starring Kyle MacLachlan and his cats.
